Passport to Key West Archive
Feb. 26, 2010
The Florida Museum sailed guests to a tropical paradise at Passport to Key West. Decorations that represented Earnest Hemingway, the famous Southernmost Point, and other unforgettable landmarks of Key West provided an atmosphere that was clearly enjoyable and festive. Guests enjoyed tropical inspired food from Blue Water Bay, danced to tunes including Jimmy Buffet by Green Room and bid on a wide variety of Key West themed items in another successful silent auction.
We would like to thank the Florida Museum Associates Board for producing another fantastic evening and working hard to bring Key West to the Museum. The artistry, the sounds and the food created an authentic atmosphere that all enjoyed. Their efforts helped the Museum raise over $42,000 to help support exhibits, public programs and research.
A special thank you again this year to Jim Brandenberg for building the iconic Key West houses and Sloppy Joe's Bar, and to Alan Shapiro for donating the trees and plants that transformed the Museum into an island paradise!
